Personnel, and Interim Health Care to

produce gasoline engines at the

Huntsville, Alabama facility. Worker

separations occurred at these companies

as a result of the permanent closing of

Based on these findings, the

certification to include workers of ACT

Personnel and Service, Incorporated,

Snelling Temporary Services, Olsten

Staffing Services, Team Source

Personnel and Interim Health Care,

Huntsville, Alabama leased to Onan

Corporation, Huntsville, Alabama.

The intent of the Department’s

certification is to include all workers of

At the request of the company, the

for workers of the subject firm. The

company reports that GSC Management

Company, Opp, Alabama provided the

management staff and office support

staff to Sweatt’s Prefade, Incorporated,

Notice of Determinations Regarding

Eligibility To Apply for Worker

Adjustment Assistance and NAFTA

Transitional Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the

Trade Act of 1974, as amended, the

Department of Labor herein presents

summaries of determinations regarding

eligibility to apply for trade adjustment

assistance for workers (TA–W) issued

during the period of December, 1997.

In order for an affirmative

determination to be made and a

certification of eligibility to apply for

worker adjustment assistance to be

issued, each of the group eligibility

requirements of Section 222 of the Act

must be met.

(1) That a significant number or

proportion of the workers in the

workers’ firm, or an appropriate

subdivision thereof, have become totally

or partially separated,

(2) That sales or production, or both,

of the firm or subdivision have

decreased absolutely, and

(3) That increases of imports of

articles like or directly competitive with

articles produced by the firm or

appropriate subdivision have

contributed importantly to the

separations, or threat thereof, and to the

absolute decline in sales or production.

Negative Determination for Worker

Adjustment Assistance

In each of the following cases the

investigation revealed that criterion (3)

has not been met. A survey of customers

indicated that increased imports did not

contribute importantly to worker

separations at the firm.

TA–W–33,985; Gardin Logging, Inc.,

Co., Watertown, WI.

TA–W–34,000; Flexsys America, Nitro,
